Hi all,

In this episode we talk about 3 FOs, 3 WIPs, some thoughts on Stitches Salt Lake, stash and saturation point. I also check in with you on my once a month out of my comfort zone project. I tried. It was... something alright. And I'll try again.

Hi all,

Socks - many socks are done or almost done. I have a couple of impromptu cast ons that have been really fun to work on. A couple of short sewing things and then deep thoughts and positivity (without giving you a tooth ache, I hope :))

Hi all,

In this episode we talk about two sock yarns I'm in love with, a total tangent about craft room cuddliness, having WIPS staring me in the face and thinking about some work/life balance - or total overhaul :)

This week we talk about two tank tops: one knit and one crochet, and another hair kerchief. We also take a moment to see what i planned to learn and do with my knitting for 2018 and see how I'm doing against that plan. Finally, I wax a little nostalgic for slow, country-mouse summers and gardening.
